Apparently there's a lot of different terms...

We also call the public ones restrooms.

Are there beds in them?

In public ones, there sometimes are places to sit and refresh yourself.

sit and refresh yourself

We just call it "having a shit." :-P

*dies laughing*

What were we talking about again?


I meant to say there are sometimes actual couches in public restrooms. Oh and then you have the fun euphemism powder room because of course women only go in there to powder their nose.

Interestingly, in one of my Agatha Christie books, a woman is saying she wants to "check her hair" as a euphemism - when what she wants is to actually powder her nose!

Which may be why sometimes bathrooms are called powder rooms, especially if they are rest rooms that don't have baths.
